Japanese influenced
« on: May 07, 2013, 06:59:00 PM »
Finishing this one up for a friend. I have always liked the profile of the Japanese knives / swords but dislike the handle materials.
 I have made a four way book match of the Bocote and Osage on the sheath and handle. Working on a carry sheath. This one could prove pretty handy for a variety of tasks.
